Talking to Health Care Providers

It can be hard to tell health care providers about the kinds of sex we are having, our partners, our sexual health needs, and our bodies. This is especially true when health care providers make assumptions that aren’t right when we first meet them, or things in our lives change after we have been working with them for awhile. However, when we give our health care providers information about our bodies, our sexual activities and partners, and our medical histories, it can help us get health care that is relevant for our needs.
